Concept:
When an atom has incomplete number of electron in its outermost orbit then it has great tendency to react with another atom which satisfies their octate either by sharing or by transferring their electrons. The involved electrons are called valence electrons.
In case of electrovalent compound, the valance electron complete their octate by transferring their valence electrons while in the covalent compound, they complete their octate by the sharing of their valence electrons.
Hence, the valence electron of the atom is involved in chemical bonding with other atoms.
Hey there!:
moles of NaOH = 10.1 / 40 = 0.2525
heat = ΔH x moles
= 44.4 x 0.2525
= 11.21 kJ
total mass = 10.1 + 250 = 260.1 g
Q = m Cp dT
11211 = 260.1 x 4.18 x dT
dT = 10.3
T2 = 10.3 + 23 = 33.3 °C
temperature = 33.3 ºC°
Hope this helps!
Answer:
- <em><u>Step 2 (the slow step).</u></em>
Explanation:
The rate-determining step is always the slow step of a mechanism.
That is so, because it is the slow step which limits the reaction.
Imaging that for assembling a toy you have process of three steps:
- 1. order ten pieces, which you can do in 1 minute: meaning that you can order order the pieces for 60/1 = 60 toys in 1 hour.
- 2. glue the pieces and hold the toy until the glue hardens, which takes 1 hour: meaning finishingh 1 toy in 1 hour.
- 3. pack the toy, which takes 2 minutes: meaning that you can pack 60/2 = 30 toys in one hour.
The time to glue and hold one toy until the glue hardens determines that you can assemble 1 toy in 1 hour and not 60 toys or 30 toys.
Thus, the step that determines the rate at which the reaction happens is the slowest step: step 2.
